Thanks for updating this! Best Bang for the Buck: Test 2 with a speed of 163.8 MB/s Tunable (md_num_stripes): 1408 Tunable (md_sync_window): 512 These settings will consume 66MB of RAM on your hardware. Unthrottled values for your server came from Test 14 with a speed of 173.3 MB/s Tunable (md_num_stripes): 4480 Tunable (md_sync_window): 2048 These settings will consume 210MB of RAM on your hardware. This is 18MB more than your current utilization of 192MB. NOTE: Adding additional drives will increase memory consumption. In unRAID, go to Settings > Disk Settings to set your chosen parameter values.

Looks like the card was touching the metal surrounding the slot.

As @Benson said, this is a VERY common cause of fires. Never, ever, never use a "molded" SATA power connector. Always use the "crimped" style. Bad: Good:

I got my Broadcom LSI SAS 9400-16i 12Gb 16 Port HBA installed and all is good!

I am looked my forward to installing mine tomorrow.

I was able to get a 9400-16i to work earlier this week. It has a SAS3416 controller. There are several threads talking about the 9305-24i.

I moved it to another slot and it works. Its just weird that it worked in Windows Server 2012 R2 in the previous slot, but not unraid.

Resolved. It uses mpt3sas.

I moved it to another slot and unraid can see and use the card now. Strange that it shows up in another OS, but not unraid. 02:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller [0107]: Broadcom / LSI SAS3416 Fusion-MPT Tri-Mode I/O Controller Chip (IOC) [1000:00ac] (rev 01) Subsystem: Broadcom / LSI SAS3416 Fusion-MPT Tri-Mode I/O Controller Chip (IOC) [1000:3000] Kernel driver in use: mpt3sas Kernel modules: mpt3sas Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: mpt3sas_cm0: _base_display_fwpkg_version: complete Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: mpt3sas_cm0: FW Package Version(11.00.00.00) Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: mpt3sas_cm0: SAS3416: FWVersion(11.00.00.00), ChipRevision(0x01), BiosVersion(09.07.00.00) Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: NVMe Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: mpt3sas_cm0: Protocol=( Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: Initiator Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: ,Target Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: ), Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: Capabilities=( Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: TLR Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: ,EEDP Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: ,Diag Trace Buffer Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: ,Task Set Full Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: ,NCQ Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: ) Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: scsi host7: Fusion MPT SAS Host Jun 25 18:47:56 Tower kernel: mpt3sas_cm0: sending port enable !!

It does. And it works fine, on that server, in Windows 2012r2. 

I just tried it and I dont believe unraid 6.7.2 is seeing the HBA. tower-diagnostics-20190625-2042.zip

Please include drivers for the Broadcom 9400-16i / SAS3416. I have attached diagnostics. Thanks. tower-diagnostics-20190625-2042.zip

Just FYI... The 9400-16i does not work with unraid 6.7.2. I will submit a feature request.

I know this is an older thread, but no, it does not work with unraid 6.7.2. I will submit a feature request to add the driver.

Updated for 6.7.2. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenDTX/unRAID-open-vm-tools/master/openVMTools_compiled.plg
